FAMILIES and BIOGRAPHIES

He was born in Sorel (Quebec). His parents were :
Gottfried FROMME
andJosephte MANEGRE dit AMEL, married c. 1786 in Sorel. The
marriage
wasprobably recorded by a non catholic priest, as no catholic
record
was found.

Gottfried (aka Louis) FROMME came to Quebec with the
Brunswick troups,
aspart of the Riedesel regiment (Col. Pollnitz company). He was
born
c. 1755in Foersten, Saxony. He died and was buried 24 July 1790 at
Sorel
(ChristChurch).

His wife, Josephte MANEGRE dit AMEL was born 22 May
1767 at Berthier
(co.Berthier) Quebec, the daughter of Joseph MANEGRE dit AMEL and
JosephteROBERT.

It's probable that Louis FROMME was born shortly
after his father'sdischarge from the Brunswick troups (23 Aug. 1783) as I can't
find
any birthrecords for him.

ANGELL/CHAU-WUN_OR_CHI-WIN6 GRIGNON
(PERRICHE/PIERRE/PIERRICHE5,
PIERRE4, PIERRE3, PIERRE2, JACQUES1) was born 1803, and died
1835.
She married LOUIS FROMME DIT MANAIGRE.

Notes for ANGELL/CHAU-WUN_OR_CHI-WIN GRIGNON:Wisconsin Creoles, p. 228: Perriche (Pierre) Grignon's second
wife's
name was "CHAU-WAU-KAU". [In this segment she is referred toas EE-CHAU-WAU-KAU.] A slightly different variation on the
Indian
name. "[Robert & Alexander Grignon disputed this,
saying that
Angell was really the daughter of the Winnebago Indian, BIG
RAT.
DominicBrunette, Sr. disagreed and raised Angell with his family
after
Genevieve Grignon died in 1839.]

*********Wisconsin Creoles, p. 308: NOTE: On this page under Louis
Fromme
dit Manaigre, it states he " married CHI WUN (died 1835),daughter of Perriche Grignon and CHAU WAU CAU, and lived at
Portage."
And NOTE: on p. 228, "...they had a daughter Angell[CHIWUN) (born 1830)." This date discrepancy
needs to be
resolved. CHI WUN/Angell began having children with Louis in
1819.
Hermother, Genevieve Grignon Corbeille, died in 1839 and there is
no
birth date, yet, on her in the Rentmeester materials that I havefound. If she was born 1800 instead of 1830 she
would have
been 19 at the birth of her first child.

there,
in 1825."
